Can pugs live 18?

How long do Pugs sleep?
Pugs tend to sleep more than other dogs (an average of 14 hours a day), and in this way are much like cats. So while they are known as eager people-pleasers, they're also snoozers.
What age do pugs slow down?
A Pug will be classified as a senior between the ages of 7 and 9 years old; this is up to his or her veterinarian to do so. The change from adult to senior is so gradual that some owners do not notice the changing needs of their Pug until he or she is really struggling.
How far should a pug walk?
They should only need 40 minutes to an hour of exercise per day, according to the UK Pug Dog Club and the Kennel Club. Shorter walks and playtime are usually best to ensure breathing problems aren't exacerbated. They tend to be adventurous and energetic in short bursts.
How much do pugs cost?
If you are buying a purebred pug from registered parents you can expect to pay anywhere from about $1,200 – 2,500. If your pug comes from a champion line and is show quality, they can cost even more. The price will depend on many factors, such as the quality of the dog's pedigree and the area of the country.
Is it OK to shave pugs?
Pugs are indoor dogs anyway, so there is no reason to shave them. Bred as companion animals, pugs are comfortable at room temperature. They should not spend too much time in the heat. Shaving may be an unnecessary expense.
